Seems HIGHLY unlikely to me. Can you think of an industry or company
where the marginal profits from hiring a $50,000 (total employment
cos
--maybe $35k salary) employee is over $100,000?

There are many of them. Young lawyers stand out. They're paid $50 or
$60 an hours and leveraged to bill out at $250 or more.

Interesting. I don't THINK that is a valid example, but I don't know
the financials of a law firm well enough to know for sure. I have a
friend in charge of the associates program of a large fir

Many many years ago, on the beginning of my career as a company consultant
(not independent) specialized in low level custom protocol design I was
payed a bit over 1/3 (less than 1/2) of what the company charged for me
from the customer.
When I saw that discrepancy (from the client not the employer) I went into
independent consulting. Quite a good period until the idiotical neocon's
recession. Then everything collapsed and as of today I still don't see the
economy to be able to provide anymore a decent career in independent
consulting.

And I think that is a much more realistic example than the one where a
company hires two people at $50,000 employment cost each and clears
$100,000 of profit. In your case, let's say you were being paid...
